Hired to mow mac not orchard, remove 3 dying trees, and trim dead branches on everything visible. Most of the slash was power mulched and spread out, simply disappeared. Larger stuff removed. On time, efficient, and all within estimated cost, no surprises. Highly recommended.

Adam arrived within a couple of hours of my initial telephone call. He set about finding the leak. He did a marvelous job of repairing the leak in such a way that stress was removed from the pipe. He was cordial, friendly, happy; and the final cost was well below the initial estimate.

About half of my large backyard had become overgrown with ivy and brush. Aaron's removed all the ivy and brush thoroughly. The ivy was pulled out by the roots, not just cut down. They worked very hard to remove all the debris and i was very satisfied with the completed job.
